Roasted Garlic & Parmesean Mash Potato

I'm sure the last thing on your mind this Monday is thinking about what to cook for dinner.Monday, it's probably the hardest day of the week, getting the kids back to school and yourself back to work. Why not make it a great Monday? Think of it this way, everyday you wake up healthy and get to enjoy this world is a just another great day and my recipe for Roasted Garlic & Parmesean Mash is the perfect example of life's simple pleasures. To make the recipe even easier I use red potatoes and leave the skins on - so one less thing to do for you,
Mash Potatoes for chefs is like a huge white canvas to a painter. There's so much more you can add to your mash then just butter (although butter is pretty great too), by adding in cheeses and spices you take the dish to a whole new level. Trust me, make my mash as this Monday night's side and your family will forget all about the entree- hey one less thing to cook right?Roasted Garlic and Parmesean Mash PotatoesIngredients2lb of small red potatoes, halved1/2 cup of milk2 sticks of butter1 cup of grated parmesean cheese1 head of garlic roasted
